Bruno Upper EL Classroom

It has been an incredible first half of the school year! Our school has had a hectic past two weeks, but we made it to the end of 2022! In Science, students wrapped up the Zoology unit with an assignment that leads into the next unit- Earth, Planets, and Space. Students used the characteristics of insects for inspiration to design an extraterrestrial robot that can survive the conditions of Mars. Students viewed images of NASA robots where scientists used insects as inspiration for the design and function. Students made some amazing designs!

We wrapped up the end of our week with our First Annual Upper Elementary Holiday Feast, and it was a huge success! Students enjoyed an extended lunch with many different dishes, sides, and desserts. They enjoyed a laidback lunch, talking with one another, and sampling a variety of dishes. Thank you to everyone who sent in dishes and especially to our volunteers who spent hours setting up and cleaning up. The feast was a bigger success than we had hoped for, and your participation helped make it a great memory for your children. We’re looking forward to making this an upper elementary tradition each holiday season! On our final day of 2022, we enjoyed a movie, games, and pajama day. Thanks to our room parent, students were able to enjoy hot chocolate, popcorn, cookies, and other leftover desserts from our feast. It was a well-deserved relaxing day for students to enjoy one another’s company while getting to explore different games too.

The past several weeks have gone beautifully, despite the many changes and alterations to our daily schedules for different activities. Students stepped up and completed the work they needed to, while also staying focused on the many other activities and events that have been happening within our school. The upper elementary has ended 2022 on a high note, and there’s no doubt students will continue to rise as 2023 begins.

Thank you to all parents and family members for the support you’ve offered to the upper elementary. As a small school, the more involvement from families we have, the more successful students will be. We cannot say thank you enough for putting your utmost trust in us to guide your children through their upper elementary journey. We wish all of you a safe holiday break, rest, and a memorable time with your families.

We look forward to students returning on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023!
